Juventus Striker Trezeguet Out For a Month
TURIN, Jan 30 (Reuters)(DS) - Juventus's French international striker David
Trezeguet will be out for a month with a hamstring injury, the Italian club
said on Monday.
"The player is suffering from a pulled hamstring. He will have to rest for a
full eight days and will not be back in action for a month," said club
doctor Riccardo Agricola.
Trezeguet, who has scored seven goals in his first season in Serie A,
underwent tests on Monday after he picked up a hamstring injury during
Sunday's 4-0 win over Vicenza.
The Frenchman's misfortune could leave the way open for a recall for
Alessandro Del Piero, who has been out of favour since returning from injury
earlier this month.
Juve coach Carlo Ancelotti has the option of Del Piero or Yugoslav striker
Darko Kovacevic as a replacement for Trezeguet.
Juventus are currently second in Serie A, three points behind leaders AS
Roma and face fourth placed Atalanta on Saturday.
